LibriVox recording of A Mysterious Disappearance by Louis Tracy. Read by Carolin Kaiser.

Lady Dyke disappears mysteriously, and barrister and hobby detective Claude Bruce appears to be one of the last persons to have seen her. A short time later a dead body is found in the river, and Bruce follows the trails. Who is Sydney H. Corbett? Why did the Lady's maid disappear shortly after her Lady? And what business did Lady Dyke have at Sloane Square? If Bruce can find the answer to these questions, he will find the solution to the mystery. (Introduction by Carolin)

Subject: Another great writer

I'd never heard of Louis Tracy and what a pleausre it is to listen to this ingenious whodunnit.

Just a small niggle - that pronuncation of place names problem. e.g. Sloane is pronounced "slone" not "sloanne". Also "heir" is pronounced "air" not "hair"

Still, otherwise so very well read. I'm sorry if I'm picky about pronunciation - especially as reading books like the volunteers do is something I can't do.

Thank you volunteer readers and Librivox. This is wonderful work you do.

Subject: Great mystery story with another great reading by Carolin

I really enjoyed this missing-wife mystery story. Although there are two detectives, one unofficial and one official, I did not find them confusing at all, as an earlier review noted. And Carolin did her usual great job reading!

Subject: Good book but a bit confusing...

With the disappearance of Lady Dyke, two detectives are now on the trail. One of the detectives is working for Scotland Yard and one is working for himself and is also the friend of the missing lady's husband. Plenty of red herrings begin to appear, not the least of which is the sudden disappearance of Lady Dyke's maid. What could possibly be behind all the mystery?

This story is good, but a bit confusing, I often got the two detectives mixed up. It is a good mystery tho, and the reader did a nice job.
